$6.50 that's the present summer price on "Zeig

A price concession on a coal like "Zeigler" is a
worth while concession, too, for you get at one and
the same time, a coal that is Bootless, clinkerless, and
almost smokeless. As far as heat units are concerned
you won't find a hotter coal on earth than this same
"Zeigler." It's warm weather now, 'tis true, but
